Short answer is no. In v13 there was a form property you could set to use the windows highlight color. If you turned this off, then the highlight of rows was black and text was in white. That property appears to have been removed starting with v14. This reminds me of one of the “properties” of Steve Jobs. He wanted to control the UI on the Mac so that he could prevent users from making bad decisions that in his opinion looked “bad”. Users should be able to customize some things, but not all things. Question: Are users telling you that it looks bad, or is this something that you have determined on your own? If users are telling you this, then the solution is simple. Tell them they made this decision with their chosen theme. They can change the highlight color in their theme.
